Palin why does she scare the left?

Question

real people don't define "experience" as appearing on unwatched Sunday-morning talk shows every week for 35 years and having been around long enough to have got both the War on Terror and the Cold War wrong. (On the first point, at the Gun Owners of New Hampshire dinner in the 2000 campaign, I remember Orrin Hatch telling me sadly that he was stunned to discover how few Granite State voters knew who he was.) Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth. She's done the stuff he's merely a poseur about. Post-partisan? She took on her own party's corrupt political culture directly while Obama was sucking up to Wright and Ayers and being just another get-along Chicago machine pol (see his campaign's thuggish attempt to throttle Stanley Kurtz and Milt Rosenberg on WGN the other night).

Because she does things like this...

Answer 2

She doesn't.....we absolutely love her....McCain has given us a wonderful gift.

Answer 3

She's extreme in her views on social issues. Turns out she's also a liar.

- she was FOR the bridge to nowhere until it blew up in Stevens' face...then she was against it

- she was FOR earmarks as mayor of Wasilla, then she wanted to be governor so she was against them

Answer 4

Because the Republicans put a woman on the Ticket while the Democrats took one off it.

Answer 5

Scare the left?? She gave the left more fodder than even they could imagine. Can't wait until the debates. Wonder if she will do her "if I don't want to answer a question I won't.?

Answer 6

she doesn't.

The left pities her and her family for being such hypocrites.

Answer 7

Oh, were you a huge Palin fan before she was announced?  You knew all about her before this?  You are ready for her to step up and be the President, should something happen to McCain?

She scares me b/c of her very strong stance on abortion.  Not even if I am raped can I get one, in her mind.  Also, she has a pregnant teenager?  How can someone who is pro-life not be teaching abstinance or safe s*x?  That scares me to death!  Also, that no experience, means she is easily controlled by the right wing Republicans when she gets to office.  You think she will stand up and get stuff done- highly unlikely.  She literally has Governed over less people than Presidents of corporations like Microsoft.   How can she know the interest of this diverse nation?  Her views and mine are totally different!  

Answer 8

On the contrary we are delighted to have her join McCain.  We are of course interested in her current charges at home of abuse of power and are dying to see her debate Biden on foreign policy.  Add her lack of any experience that would qualify her and she is the straw that elects Obama!

Obama O8

Answer 9

That's easy and only involves understanding a couple of basic concepts.

She is female - This is Democrat territory. Until last week most of them believed and stated publicly that the Republicans would never nominate a female or minority candidate.

She is Conservative - no explanation really required here

She offsets the minority nomination of Obama by the Democrats.

Make no mistake they are worried and their concerted effort to duiscredit her right from the start bears this out. This woman has the ability to re-unite an errant conservative base in the party. additionally she has the ability to pull Hillary voters who were already leaning towards McCain. Lastly, if McCain is elected and has an acceptable tenure as President she is structured to make a run for President herself after his tenure ends which would present an obstacle to a second run by Hillary, by removing the woman card from the deck.

Democrats need to be very careful how they attack this woman. If they attack her experience it only leads to greater criticism against their candidate on the same basis. If they attack her for being a woman they expose themselves as hypocrites. Some are already crossing the line with attacks against her family and this will hurt them overall, especially with their own candidate saying this is wrong. No matter what they need to understand that it doesn't matter why she was nominated, she is here to stay and will effect the election overall.

Answer 10

We find it quite ironical that your party

talks about inexperience then wants to elect a mayor of 4900 and one time governor

talks about how immoral liberals are for allowing their daughters to get pregnant instead of teaching them ABSTINANCE ONLY

talks about liberal pork in the budget and wants a governor that got millions for her town of 4900

and

especially how John (low life) McCain can tell unsavory Chelsea jokes while being taped and its way off limits to mention this pregnancy

Answer 11

Because she's f'ing scary - I mean look at her:

Answer 12

Because you people are trying to pose her as a threat to Obama...she's the would BE VP...only poss. pres if the older than jesus McCain would regretfully pass on...If this woman were a diff. race...hispanic or otherwise...she would have never been considered!...if the vise versa had happened Republican's would be relentless regardless of the pleas from the (dem.)candidate to keeping family off limits...we are only asking that you explain how this woman's decision or indecision to speak with her family(17 year old daughter) about ...a woman's rights & RESPONSIBILITIES...as well as her partners where s*x is concerned...how would you figure this ...makes her "responsible"..."right"...& "righteous" enough to be the Vice President. If this is so...don't concern yourselves with "anchor babies"...they are born from children near the same age...or "Black"& "Hispanic" teenagers who use & according to republican's "Abuse" the system to reap the rewards you TAX PAYERS PAY...while "lower" classes do not...How about this chick believes we should abstain from speaking to our kids about it...you know s*x....don't speak to your kids about s*x & it will be OK if you get pregnant at 17...but that's only where ...upper class WHITE kids are concerned...be aware of the message your sending....whether you like it or not...we are no longer a predominately...RICH (not just white) country...

Answer 13

She is a tinfoiler.  Why don't you erect a statue to Timothy McVeigh so all you closet militia boosters can have something to do on Saturday night?
